Downtown Tulsa on the 4th.  They shot off fireworks early to beat the storm.  I was on the balcony at the time. Winds hit about 80.

Cool shots!

Not my phone a screen grab as I missed this.  I am assuming this is Harry Truman's Presidential Limo out getting some exercise on Duval Street in Key West.  We have toured the Truman White house in the past. Pretty cool piece of history.

RIP Larry Lizard

I believe he died while trying to solve a math problem.

What does 110 + 110 equal?

Ha!
 a million years ago one of my friends introduced me to the wonderful world of computer games - they were very primitive back in the late 80's but I remember the first game I played on my friend's laptop - Lounge Lizard Larry!

If you ever find yourself in Key Largo, Florida, there is a Marina next to a Holiday Inn along US1.
In that marina is the actual African Queen boat used in the Movie. It was originally a steam powered boat that was converted to gas.  In the movie they concealed that and made it look to be steam powered to make it look period correct.

I spoke with the owner a couple of years ago, they gave up trying to keep the old gas engine running and installed, hastily IMO, a outboard. I think that is a huge mistake and they should rebuild the engine.

Jeff, I should I send them your way?  LOL!!

We always stop off in Key Largo on our way to Key West.  We have debated driving straight through (5 hours) instead of the 2 hours to Key Largo then another 3 hours to KW.  We like spending the first night in Key Largo then meandering down to KW exploring. This year we toured Grimal Grove which has a lot of history on Big Pine Key.

The only pic I snapped was of a deer grazing around out in front of the place. I was intrigued by the tour and never once thought to snap a pic.

Once in KW while walking NW along Caroline Street, you come up on Pepe's, another place wrought with history.  More notable for me is Hunter Thompson hung out here all the time as well. Its a real dive and looks as old inside as it does outside.

The nondescript building with all the stickers was Jimmy Buffets recording studio. No signs, nothing indicating as much. If you know, you know.

I love Key West, we try to go every July, I am actually toying with moving there for a few years. I discussed it with the wife, the only thing keeping us where we are right now is her parents and the possibility of needing to be there for them. That would be hard to do living 5 hours away. Plus I do not think my liver will survive that place. 

OK break over time to get back to work.
